I think tequila tastes like a hot penny. That’s what my grandmother would tell me I smelled like whenever I returned from Gus’s Hot Dogs as a kid. Lance Cutler, tequila expert and author of The Tequila Lover’s Guide to Mexico, compared the taste of tequila to “the smell of freshly poured concrete, or a hot street after a quick summer cloudburst.” That also seems right.
What does tequila taste like to you?

That’s interesting… describing tastes in terms of smells. I was immediately able to conjur the smells of fresh concrete, hot street, and even hot penny. Snnnniff.
it tastes JUST like pepper. every time and i think that is why people like salt before because they cancel each other out
It tastes like hot, sour, plums and starfruit, and tobacco.
Vesy: That’s exactly what tequila tastes like–hot, sour plums.
